La Bella Chicago

La Bella Trattoria is a lively, fun, and bold Italian restaurant located in the heart of Chicago’s Loop at 120 W Monroe Street, inside a historic landmark building and connected to the Kimpton Gray Hotel. Inspired by the spirit of Italy, our trattoria blends timeless tradition with modern flair — a place where fine wine, pasta, and great conversation are always on the menu.

Our concept is rooted in the joy of living well. From the red kiss mark in our logo to the black-and-white vintage photography lining our walls, every detail celebrates la dolce vita. Whether you're gathering with friends for happy hour, grabbing a quick lunch between meetings, or indulging in dinner before a night at the theater, Trattoria La Bella offers a warm, stylish space to eat, drink, and unwind.

The menu features a flavorful mix of traditional Italian dishes and Italian-American favorites —from pizza, pasta and panini, to fresh seafood, hearty antipasti, and signature desserts. Our bar program includes expertly crafted specialty cocktails and a curated list of fine Italian and international wines, making it a go-to for after-work drinks or weekend brunch with friends.

We proudly serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour, and we offer a Pre-Theater Menu designed for those heading to Chicago’s nearby Theatre District - think of it as a quick trip to Italy, no passport required.

Located on Monroe, situated between Clark & LaSalle, La Bella Trattoria is just steps from Loop offices, theaters, and Chicago attractions. Whether you’re joining us for a morning espresso, a romantic dinner, or a celebratory group event, La Bella is where Italian tradition meets Chicago charm — with a kiss.
